Can rabbits eat feijoas

Answer 1

The feijoa (Acca sellowiana) is also known as the pineapple guava and guavasteen.

Rabbits can eat feijoa skin and fruit but only as a treat. Too many treats will make your rabbit sick. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of treat food per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. A healthy rabbit diet consists of lots and lots of hay, fresh dark-coloured leafy greens, and rabbit pellets.

Feijoa leaves and twigs are much better for the rabbit than the fruit or fruit skins.

Whenever you feed your rabbit something new, start with very small portions and watch the rabbit's health and behaviour for the next little while (see the related question below for info). Just because something is generally safe for rabbits, doesn't mean it's good for your rabbit. (Rabbits, just like humans, can have food Allergies and sensitivities.

It is not recommended to give rabbits feijoa or any fruit skins to eat. Non-edible fruit and vegetable skins are usually covered in toxins (insecticides, etc), so if you're going to give them to an animal to eat, you should either wash them in food soap (this is NOT the same as dish soap or any other soap), or buy organic, or grow the fruit yourself and don't use any toxins on them.

Answer 2

Feijoas (Acca sellowiana) are also known as pineapple guavas and guavas teens.

No, rabbits are unable to eat Feijoas. Well they can but it is highly unrecommended.

Feijoas are not known to be dangerous for rabbits, but they are a fruit which means if you give any to your rabbit at all, it should only be as a treat. Rabbits should eat hay, dark leafy greens, and pellets; pretty much anything else should be a treat only. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of fresh treat food per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. Too many treats will make your rabbit sick.

Any time you give your rabbit a new food, start off with tiny amounts, like one bite only. If the rabbit doesn't get sick in the next few days, then you can give the bunny two bites next time. See the related link below about how to tell if rabbits are sick.
